🔪 Preparation Tips
Slice the beef properly: Cut thinly against the grain to keep it tender. Slightly chilling the meat makes slicing easier.
Quick marinade: Toss beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, and oil for 15–30 minutes to enhance flavor and texture.
Prep vegetables ahead: Slice onions and peppers evenly so they cook at the same rate. Keep them separate until cooking.
